Robo Coder 1.6

Robo Coder serves as an additional interface for SmartKiddo USA Robots, providing a visual programming environment for robotics enthusiasts. It facilitates seamless integration with custom robots such as the Explorer 2 Rover, enabling users to control and enhance their robotic devices while fostering foundational coding skills. This application is particularly well-suited for those interested in STEM education.

Functionality on mobile and tablet devices includes:

• WiFi connectivity to enable control of the robot in both indoor and outdoor settings.
• Operational control via a Basic Controller Pad interface.
• Execution of pre-saved command levels through launching stored programs.

Additional features available on tablets encompass:

• Drag-and-drop coding utilizing Google Blockly-style tools for instruction in programming logic.
• Customization of robot movements, including adjustments to turns, spins, and speeds for tailored maneuverability.
• Activation of the robot’s Color Camera for visual operations.
• Implementation of Color and Image Recognition capabilities to trigger interactive responses based on camera input.
• Autonomous maze navigation using Aruco Markers, optimized for efficiency.
• Display of messages and animations on the OLED Screen integrated into the robot.
• Option to save coding levels for later use or sharing via scannable QR codes.

The app offers full functionality on tablets, while providing a simplified version on mobile devices primarily intended for remote control purposes. The mobile app lacks tutorial lessons and Blockly code editing features, serving mainly as a remote control interface for pre-existing programs. Users can connect by scanning QR codes associated with prior lessons or select pre-loaded control pads such as “Explorer 2 Basics: Explorer 2 Controller.”
